There is more super jumps action from Cheltenham to start the weekend on Friday, followed by a double-header of local racing on Saturday and quality international meetings in support. Make sure your Betway account is topped up, and if you place your

The
Saturday meetings are at Turffontein and Kenilworth, with Kenilworth first off and hosting a sprint handicap, late in the day, as the main offering. This is an ultra-competitive race in which it really depends which runner arrives at the top of his or her game. The form is muddling, there are eight of eight with chances but perhaps Rio Querari, the former Equus Champion Sprite can get it right in his return to 1000m. He is rising eight years of age, but still seems to enjoy his racing and while he is not what he used to be, he has won Graded stakes races off ratings that were much higher than his current 118, and he could sneak in, one more time.
At Turffontein,
Betway Ambassador Mike de Kock has 10 runners carded, a few chances among them, and he filed comments, as below:
Race 4, 1400m: “
Forever Mine lost his form before a rest, but he is doing well at home. We’re going to try something different, get him to come from behind instead of letting him go to the front like he’s done many times before. Let’s see how he goes, he’ll probably need it.
Humdinger is as game as they come and she’s in here with a handy weight, well handicapped and well drawn. She’s won three races over 1400m and is bound to give a good account of herself again, a definite inclusion.”
Race 5, 1400m. “Three fillies with somewhat inconsistent form in
Bold Act, Sea Anenome and
Simple Simple, but they have been racing in some good company. They’re all well and you have to consider them for Quartets. If I have to pick between them, maybe Sea Anenome whose recent form is best, but a tricky contest with one or two others that may be better.”
Race 6, 1200m:
“Zinovi is a horse I’ve always rated, he comes off a wind operation. He wasn’t breathing well before and did well despite that. He is fine now, breathing well. I’m not mad about his inside draw for the sprint, but he is a horse with ability worth including.”
Race 7, 1160m: “Three decent fillies in the race for us, though a few to beat.
White Pearl’s at best up to 1400m, doesn’t quite get the mile so we’re bringing her back to a sprint. She is talented, but I scratch my head when I look at her rating vs the rating of Mrs Browning, who is more accomplished. She’s drawn on the inside, not ideal. The other two
, Good Queen Bess and
Platina Princess, are drawn better. They’re also fairly well handicapped so if you’re going to look beyond Mrs Browning and One Fell Swoop, they come into play.
Race 8, 1000m: “
Woman Of Power is effective over 1000m. She’s not a bad filly when she puts it together and you can ignore her last run. Include.”
There are eight races at Scottsville on Sunday afternoon. Jockey Richard Fourie has a 25% strike rate for trainer Tienie Prinsloo, who has booked him for the first three races at Scottsville on Sunday. Their first two have good winning chances on recent form. Bomber Stream (Race 1) didn’t enjoy soft going in his last run and faded from the front, but could keep going this time if the going is good. One Smart Cookie (Race 2) is a twice-beaten favourite and overdue to win.
